PROMM Event with Mark

May 27th

Starting at 7 pm ($3 Per Person)

America’s first covered bridge once crossed the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and at one time the Commonwealth had over 1,500 covered bridges.  Today approximately 209 authentic covered bridges remain, more than any other state.

They are sometimes called “kissing bridges” because young men would steal kisses from their sweethearts while crossing them. 

This presentation will look at types of covered bridges, laws protecting covered bridges, the destruction of covered bridges by fire, flood, or vehicles.  We will also look at some of our covered bridges that are said to be haunted.

PROMM Event with James

July 22nd

Starting at 7 pm ($3 Per Person)

Allegany County (MD) hanged its first murderer in 1829. He was the sheriff of the neighboring Washington County, MD. After the mysterious death of his wife, George Swearingen went on the run through the frontier lands of a young country trying to evade capture. Hear the story of how a promising young sheriff became a wanted man in a historical true crime that shows love, power, and money are just as much motives for murder 200 years ago as they are today.
